The stormy pattern continues across Alabama today, but it looks like the best chance of severe weather is staying towards the southern regions of the state.

For anyone traveling to the beaches this week, the rip current forecast is also concerning as the chance for life-threatening rip currents is “likely” the next several days.

A Level 2 risk includes Mobile, Fort Morgan, and Gulf Shores. A Level 1 includes Tensaw and Brewton. Risks include severe storms, hail, wind, torrential rain, and a tornado or two.

It’s also time for us to start monitoring the tropics. Tropical Storm Bret formed Monday afternoon and is still a few days from being a major concern to the U. S.
